Education

I will also work to invest in comprehensive mental health support for students and staff, because learning together requires being well together. Prioritizing social-emotional health is necessary for our students, teachers, and even parents to be successful in our daily lives. Learn more

We need investments in more support staff, before and after-school programming, and decreasing class sizes. We need investment in universal Pre-K. We need continued revenue funding streams for these issues, and I will make it a priority in my first term to get a bill funded by tax increases on the largest corporations to the floor of the House in order to do just that.

Our educators deserve competitive salaries. No teacher should be making poverty-level wages, and be forced to live outside their school district to afford teaching there. Learn more

I will fight for a high-quality, public education system where every student has the opportunity to succeed and to feel safe no matter their race, gender identity, immigration status, sexual orientation, the language they speak, or family income. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Climate change is a top priority, and discussions about nearly every issue must include an environmental aspect. From transportation, housing, and economic development, to issues of public health and education, we need to focus on how we can shift to sustainable models that will create a clean and emission-free future. Learn more

I am in favor of massive investment into public infrastructure that will decarbonize our economy and pay high wages to the workers who build it. Climate change is an opportunity to bring new sectors into the labor community. Learn more

We cannot continue to rely on fossil fuels and carbon emissions to power our economy. Oregon must pass a Green New Deal to ensure we transition to a sustainable green economy that protects our environment and generates living wage jobs. Learn more

Healthcare

I will continue to support legislation for prescription drug price controls. People should not have to pay exorbitant prices for medication that they need to survive. I have supported firm price limits on specific lifesaving medications, like insulin. Learn more

I will fight for a healthcare system that serves everybody, so that families aren’t afraid of getting a bill for the care that they desperately need to be healthy. I firmly believe that healthcare should be treated as a right, not a private commodity or a privilege, because everyone should have access to holistic healthcare benefits. Learn more

Housing

As the Vice-Chair of the Housing Committee, I have been involved in the various efforts to protect both our renters and homeowners through eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, and the distribution of millions of dollars in direct financial assistance for housing. As much work as the state has done around addressing the challenges Oregon is facing with its housing crisis, it’s still not enough and the pandemic has shown the cracks in our infrastructure when it comes to emergencies — I will work to find solutions and investments so that we may better serve our communities when they need it most. Learn more

We need to examine creative solutions for affordable homeownership including Community Land Trust Models, modular homes, and addressing barriers to affordable housing production. Learn more

The housing crisis has hit Oregon statewide and the Beaverton School District itself has consistently had the highest number of students experiencing houselessness in the entire state. We cannot expect children to excel academically if they lack housing, adequate food, family supports, language acquisition programs, and other basic needs. I will continue the work to invest in wraparound services and humane policies that treat our houseless population with care and empathy. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

I believe in having a publicly-funded TriMet system with expanded rail options and a Bus Rapid Transit System that would improve access for people. Learn more

I will fight for holistic transportation solutions that improve quality of life and the environment. That means well-lit TriMet stops, accessible public transportation, more sidewalks on roads that need them — all with a goal of reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Learn more

Social Services

Addressing food insecurity through increased access to nutrition programs is paramount, ensuring that no one goes hungry due to financial constraints. Learn more

Advocating for more affordable utilities helps alleviate the strain on household budgets, ensuring that basic needs like electricity and water remain accessible to all. Learn more

Moreover, enhancing consumer protections safeguards individuals from predatory practices, ensuring fair treatment in the marketplace and mitigating financial exploitation. Learn more
